Ascot Race 8 - Drummond Golf - Wa Oaks (G3)
Time for the WA Oaks now where MACHINE GUN GRACIE (2) is clearly the one to beat. She's an exciting prospect on the way up and she was far too good in the Natasha Stakes. She'll roll to the front from barrier 7 and can make every post a winner once again. TWILIGHT TALE (3) was well back on straightening last start and ran to second. beaten 3.4L in the Natasha. He's drawn to sit closer this time and while she'll have to improve sharply, it wouldn't completely surprise to see her turn the tables. FUNCHAL (6) was third in the Natasha when running on from a long way back. She's drawn awkwardly again, but it's Grand Final Day now and she gets a swag of gear changes. She should be about the finish. IDODOMYA (8) quickened impressively to win her maiden at Pinjarra last start and has claims at a big price. NOAHQUINTILLY (1) is next best.

Useful filly. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at this track in the LR Natasha on March 22 over 2200m, 4.5 len behind Machine Gun Gracie carrying 55.5kg at $61. The start before that eased back early on 10th of 13 at this track in the LR 1000 Guineas on March 9 over 1800m, 6 len behind Glasgow Lass carrying 55.5kg at $101. Worth including.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd of 12 at this track in the LR Natasha on March 22 over 2200m, 3.5 len behind Machine Gun Gracie carrying 54kg at $5. The race before that ran on from midfield; 3rd of 13 at this track in the LR 1000 Guineas on March 9 over 1800m, 1.3 len behind Glasgow Lass carrying 54kg at $3.70. A filly on the rise and she can challenge for victory.

Last start settled well back; won by a long-neck at Albany Cl2 March 27 over 1500m defeating Where's My Lunch with 56kg at $10. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Narrogin Mdn Hcp 46+ March 15 over 1720m defeating Endless Joy with 54.5kg at $9. Back-to-back wins coming into this but hard to see her featuring.

The start before that 6th of 13 at this track in the LR 1000 Guineas on March 9 over 1800m, 3 len behind Glasgow Lass carrying 54kg at $9.50. Making headway. Needs some luck from the barrier but has the class to feature.
